1 Share of the jewellery mounter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery polisher profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jewellery mounter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery polisher background worth leading with.

already held cultured pearls arts and humanities
already held coining engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held imitation jewellery arts and humanities
already held clean jewellery pieces handling and moving
already held use jewellery equipment handling and moving
already held ensure conformance to jewel design specifications information skills

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
